Maui Vacation Spot

The tropical paradise of Maui provides something special for every traveler. However many people are surprised about the outstanding offerings that are specially well-suited to families that make Maui vacation to one of the best family vacation spots out there.

Overall Maui vacation packages are my favorite option to make holidays. I've been to the Hawaiian islands several times now, and each time has been like a dream. The only problem with Maui as a travel vacation destination is the fact that it is so favored by a lot of people to go on vacations. If you're traveling on the peak season be prepared for overcrowded hotels, resorts and beaches and herds of tourists.

The Westin Maui at Kaanapali Beach Resort is especially favored by families due to the tropical waterfalls, parrots and foliage. The aquatic vacation spot having a 128-foot slide makes childhood dreams come true. Maui hotels and resorts offer much more than only a room and a beach. Most of them come with particular touches to animate family travelers and nearly all holiday resorts and hotels on Maui offer activities for kids including planned beach actions.

Kids enjoy to explore Maui's natural beauty. A must-do for families is a trip to Haleakala National Park. The learning experience of the variety of ecosystems and the exposure to so many unknown and different tropical species should not to be missed. Watching the sunrise from Haleakala is really popular with Maui visitors. However it is not usually well suitable to younger kids depending on the early start time in the morning and amount of waiting time.

Another attraction that should be on be on the tour plan of every family is the Maui Ocean Center, which presents Hawaii's underwater environment voted by Zagat Survey as Hawaii's Top-Rated Family Attraction.

Kids take pleasure to the noticeable experience of feeling things like a sea cucumber in the touch pool. An especially interesting attraction of the Maui Ocean Centre popular with grownups as well as kids is the glass tube which leads in a 750,000-gallon aquarium with sharks and other beautiful coloured tropical fish which swims on top. Usually visitors stay about two hours in the Maui Ocean Centre.However a lot of visitors stay longer to experience the exhibits and enjoy to eat in one of two eating places of the Maui Ocean Centre.

The Hawaii Nature Center situated in the Iao valley on Maui is particularly favored by kids from 3 to 8. The Center encloses more than 30 practical, interactive showings as well as guided walks through the rain forest. Exhibits show the only sarcophagus caterpillar in the world and art of native to Maui.

Maui was looked once as the capital of the whaling industry and in the wintertime it is home of Pacific Humpback whales. The Whalers Village Museum situated in the Kaanapali shopping mall it is dedicated to the lessons about this important being. This Maui museum showcases more than seventy kinds of whales. The skeleton remains from a 40-foot Sperm Whale are placing in astonishment, and children are shaken to see the real size of this ocean giant. There is no admission fee to visit this great Maui attraction.

The Lahaina Kaanapali Rails, also known as the Sugarcane Train, will be a stunning place of with young train enthusiasts. These Maui attraction is often estimated as dull by adults, however it is absolutely adapted to families with younger kids.

Drawn by a steam machine travelling in an open-air coach, tourists savor an easygoing 6 miles tour through Maui. Passing over a 325-foot curved wooden trestle offers a scenic panorama view of the West Maui Mountains, as well as islands which border on Maui. During the tour storytellers explain the history of Maui.

Holidays on Maui are not perfect until a luau is enclosed. Most Maui hotels and resorts offering luaus. Some of the mostly recommended non-resort luaus include the The Feast at Lele and the Old Lahaina Luau, both established themselves in the Maui village of Lahaina. Kids are tied up by the Hawaiian dance and music provided by these Maui actors and are get some food that they enjoy to eat among the many luau offers.

Maui is viewed as a top choice among family vacation spots. Kids and grownups immediately enjoy to learn culture and history of Maui at several places across this great family vacation spot. Maui vacation packages are unquestionably the best option to go if you've never been to the islands before and only have a limited time frame to go with. However, if you've been to the islands before, or are traveling for longer than 14 days, than you are supposably better off just doing your own thing. Of course, it is depending on what you prefer. If you like having everything planned for you in advance, then all-inclusive Maui vacation packages are the right option to go with. However, if you like a lot of flexibility and even like things to do in Maui off the beaten track, than I'd recommend you should do your own thing unless its your first time travel to Maui.
